How to unlock the Observe the Grenade achievement in Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard - Definitive Guide
This achievement requires you to kill 3 testers, in the purple suits, with a single grenadelauncher shot. I tried several times during the last boss battle, but couldn't get it to work.
The strategy I used was in the room just before the final boss fight. There will be a purple and a red guy. Shoot the red guy and some more will spawn. You will now have 3 purple guys and a yellow in the room. Kill the yellow guy and now you just have to get the purple guys to stand together. My strategy was to stand on the left bookcase end from where you enter the room, and then the purple dudes ended up standing behind the counter. Then I simply aimed for the middle guy, and bang achievement unlocked in my first attempt.
Good luck on the hardest achievement in this game :-)

This was mostly the solution I used, but not quite. It'll still likely take several tries even doing it this way. Also, it doesn't have to be a single grenade, but it does have to happen in very quick succession. Fire several grenades at them as fast as you can. Personally I managed to kill 2 with one and a third immediately after.

I found this solution to be the best. To add to this I got lucky, I lobbed 4 grenades on the ground and it got all 3 of them and I got the achievement. I guess you dont have to get them all with the same blast. Thanks Shreik.

For this achievement, you have to kill three purple suited guys (The testers) with one grenade launcher grenade. This is actually really easy, but at the same time could be hard.
The best place to get the achievement is during Phase 3 of the final "boss" battle, the last boss will summon 3+ Purple suited tester guys. Wait until they get close together (bunched up, they do it often on easy difficulty), and pop a grenade in between them. If you kill all three, the achievement will unlock, if not, let them kill you and try again.

Damn, this achievement is so hard. Spent over 2hours trying this and trying the part before this in the liabary and they never bunch together. Sucks only being at 985 might one day get this.

worst part of the achievement was playing the entire level to get to the last part but it works

Testers are the pink enemies found on the final level. The best place for this trophy is in the room directly before the final boss, where you fight a group of enemies, half testers, in a small area.
There's a trick to this that make's this trophy WAY easier than usual, that I found while on my THIRD run of the game (twice on the 360 version, once on PS3).
If you use the flame power with the grenade launcher, the grenades will explode on contact with anything, AND set enemies affected by it on fire. As far as I was able to tell (trophy popped too fast for me to really test), Testers killed by the fire still count for this trophy, even if you weaken them with other weapons. So, in that final room, kill all other enemies and wait for three testers to be close together. Fire the flame powered grenade where it will hit all three, and if the first shot doesn't work, fire one or more shots. Like I said, the trophy popped before I could test it, so you may have to do some testing of your own to find something that works. But with the flame power up, I don't think it'll take too long. :3
